    I've done the bl**dy planning, it's the execution I want to get onto :rotfl:.

    Decluttering going well - 1/2 jar of garlic & olive salad and one bottle of champagne taken care of :D.

    New phone up & running and all numbers transferred over - need to email a few peeps I don't have a mobile number for with the number.

    Curtains and blinds for Spain collected - need to work out how best to transport blinds :eek:. Cardboard and duck tape needed I think :D.

    So, one day working from home - and have a LOT to do :eek:, then last day Tuesday _pale_. Not happy with the attitude of two of the people taking over from me, and how that will impact on my staff who have worked VERY hard for me, but hey ho. Not my problem. Neither are all the other issues which were never addressed :T.

    Out on the razz with Mr GG tonight. He's currently recovering from the trials of the day with a little nap under my blankie on the sofa :rotfl:.

    Yep, hope Mr GG got up to accompany you on the razzle - that decluttering will help, I'm sure!

    Hope you are not still recovering, GG......
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Ha ha SSS, no recovery needed :D.

    Exhausted - suitcases packed for Spain - that was an experience :rotfl:. Haven't been able to pack as much as I wanted but at least it's done :T.

    Furniture sold :T but buyer hasn't been in touch yet :(

    Lots sorted out and organised :T.

    Ospreys should be back soon :j:j:j.

    Hope last day is being just like you would want it to be ! fun :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
